Ingrid @wikkit & Marit @Starlance

Men and women scattered across the open yard of an unknown and otherwise unimportant scrapyard. Many spoke in loud whispers as they spread the news. If they did not hear it from the roar of the Colonel, then it came from the words of men and women who are chomping at the bit. The sleeping were brought to alertness within moments. The drowsy had a shot of adrenaline from those words. For those who could not sleep, found themselves fully rested.

The solid thumping of Tarak's boots began to resound through his ears. He was quickly trying to put on a shirt as he could hear around him. There were those who were scrambling to be prepared. Some were taking drinks from their water to try and clear their throats from the dry air, others splashed it on their face to wake themselves up. He could hear people scrambling to get their boots on and others trying to not be overwhelmed before the briefing.

Tarak fully tightened his belt as he entered for the briefing. He saw within people already abuzz, waiting for the briefing, and even saw Ingrid, more excited about this briefing than everyone combined. He lightly patted Ingrid's shoulder, making sure she did not touch her back where they had all taken lashings, "Keep the enthusiasm-", Tarak then threw her a smile as he continued, "-it suits you". After which he gave Marit a nod as he said, "Let's hope it stays easy, you know?"

The Things We Fight For

Character Sheet

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx B A S I C I N F O [Name] Adrith Ashford [Callsign] Scorch [Gender] Male [Age] 26 [Rank and Designation] E-6 - Petty Officer First Class [Place of Birth] Sentinel Prime [Official Statement] "Why do I fight? Because its right. Because I always dreamed to. And, if I don't. Then who'll be there to save the magic girls from the big bad monsters?" C O M B A T A B I L I T Y [Mech Model] SO1-Dawn Breaker [Type] Experimental Multi-purpose Anti-armor mech with crowd control and aerial capabilities [Size] 40 feet tall and 20 metric tons unloaded and 45 metric tons fully loaded [Core] 1 Epsilon Class & 1 Beta Class [Armaments] SO1-Day Break Cannon- Hider A shoulder-mounted experimental Magnetic Acceleration Cannon powered with a beta Core meant solely for the cannon. Often times a weapon like this is seen upon larger star ships, this experimental weapon was made to bring the devastating power used by those ships directly to the battlefield. Little to no armor short of fortified walls fit to withstand orbital bombardment is able to withstand prolonged fire from this weapon. This cannon, with all its power, is able to fire multiple payloads, which include: Sabot-A fin-stabilized tungsten rod meant to pierce through any hard material. Flechette-A bundle of many small metal darts that are meant to scatter across a wide area and obliterate anything they touch. High Explosive-A metal projectile filled with high explosives that will pierce a target and explode a moment later. H3L-Shielded Heavy Arm- Hider A shield mounted on the left arm that is able to take a heavy beating. Yet that is not all, connected to the shield is a set of twin rotary cannons able to fire thousands of rounds within moments. Yet that is not the only trick attached to the shield, as when it is time to get close and personal, the shield is able to deploy a heated pile that is able to punch through any hard material with ease. And if the shield is ever heavily damaged, it can be detached to lessen the load. S4N-Sky Burner Jets- A specialized propulsion system that gives this mech its firey look. This propulsion system originates from multiple points across the mech to both exhaust heat quickly and has multi-directional propulsion. This setup gives the mech both high speed and maneuverability to close the distance against any target. G4Z-Rain Maker- A set of specialized missile pods that are loaded with multiple different projectiles they can fire: High Explosive Missiles- High explosive missiles, carry a strong enough payload to destroy small structures on their own. Smoke- Multiple smoke canisters launch out and create a wide area smoke screen to obscure vision. Flares- An analog countermeasure against heat-guided projectiles, not very viable with the current era of technology. Paint- An impractical ammunition type that has paint stored within metal cannisters. The Pilot swears by them.

Profile [Surface-level Impression] Standing at 6’4 and having a large imposing frame. He has a nice tan, bright golden eyes, and a well-worked body. He does have a very noticeable scar spanning the left side of his face that goes from his forehead down to his lower cheek. Jovial and strong-willed, Adrith laughs loud and lives life to the fullest. Both figuratively and literally, he is a figure who lives larger than life and is not one to stray from conflict and not one to let his thoughts be unknown. [Personal History] Adrith grew up in a loving home, his family was well off, his father was a famous pilot, and his mother was a well-known officer. He learned from a young age, to stand up for others, fight for what you believe in, and his father's favored motto: "Leave nothing to what ifs". He followed his father's footsteps, to the protest of his mother. When he was 15 his father enrolled him into the pilot program. With a little nepotism pushing him higher yet also shadowing his own work, Adrith soared. A natural talent and one who comes from a well-known family, Adrith was given every opportunity to show his worth. During these years, Adrith pushed and soared past many within his training year. Yet not one to look to himself, he worked with others, encouraged and even attempted to uplift them. As it was in these years he learned camaraderie and friendship. He learned how to fight and for those around him, what they fight for. Once he came out of training, it was into the fire. Engagement to engagement, he fought and showed his mettle. Then his number came up. When a single pilot comes face to face with a Bishop, what can they do? They could run, leaving their fellow man behind as they escape. Men and women fought by their side, supporting them in an attempt to allow the Constellation to take on the barriers. Leaving them to die to allow the military machinery to be saved. But Adrith never thought of that for a second. Rushing headlong, he faced the Bishop in combat. He was never going to win. But he needed to buy those with him time. The men and women who fielded the small arms, vehicles, and weapons to clear more of the hoard. They would not survive long if left with the Bishop. Neither would Adrith, yet he never thought of that. He fought like a savage, he could do nothing, but buy time. And with all the time he bought, a Constellation came and defeated the Bishop. Adrith was left on death's door, yet once taken back to safety, he was healed. Being given accommodations for his bravery, he was given paid leave. Which he took to visit family, and where he learned about a new experimental weapon program from his father. Through his mother's and father's connections, he was able to join the program and gain the SO1- Dawn Breaker. Sentinel Prime [Planet Description] Sentinel Prime is a world much similar to the early recordings of Earth within the Sol system. A Core world outside of the Milky Way that is relatively safe and well-off, Sentinel Prime is one of the largest manufacturers of flight chip modules. While nothing of great note is otherwise produced within the world, it is a world that has had a staggering rise in recruitment for military service. [Culture] The culture of Sentinal Prime is steeped in patriotism. As one of the earlier Core worlds settled by humanity, it has a rich history that has stood the test of time. Having first been an agricultural world colonized with essentially debt slaves it was turned into a manufacturing world. Sentinal Prime wanted to be something more than just a place where people slaved away. The planet and its denizens wished to redefine itself and define its existence on its own. The planet flipped itself overnight, people took to the streets as freedom was fought, and eventually Sentinal Prime fought for its freedom and eventually bought off the debt of its inhabitants. Becoming the master of their own fate, Sentinal Prime was now a world that had been able to form and stand on its own. Quickly going back to what they knew, the world began to produce goods to export under their terms and reduced their reliance on systems around them. Now fast forward to today, it has become a world that has countless traditions and a strong backbone, it has prospered for most of the years it has been colonized. Yet now as extinction slowly creeps upon the doors of Sentinal Prime, the denizens welcome it with open arms. As those within Sentinal Prime are willing to show what they are willing to die for. [Warrior Family] The Ashfords are not a warrior family, however, from the last few generations, there have been well-known military men and women who have joined the military and served distinguished careers as both Pilots and officers. Notable Contacts [Name] Senior Chief Petty Officer Tarak Ashford [Relation to Subject] Father [Analysis] A man of action, Chief Petty Officer Ashford is a man who has proven himself in combat time and time again. Seeming to pass on his ideology and his skill to his son, he had often bent rules and connections to favor his son. A man who has seen many promotions and demotions in his time, he is considered a polarizing figure. Often being called by superior officers a PITA (Pain in the Ass), which has become his callsign, he has rubbed many the wrong way in his willingness to perform his own actions he thinks best. While those who serve with him think of him in high regard. He has often put his life on the line, putting missions in jeopardy to save those who are under him, and has often been called the luckiest man alive, by those under him as they believe his luck is the only thing that has saved their lives. [Name] Rear Admiral Lower Half Sophia Ashford [Relation to Subject] Mother [Analysis] Rear Admiral Sophia Ashford is the commander of the warship The Vengeance. From multiple accounts, she is referred to as a strong-headed and determined woman. She has made a name for herself as a no-nonsense commander and has led some of the most daring defenses against the Aberrations. Often being referred to as a kindly woman by those under her command, betrays the cold demeanor she shows to most of her peers. Many of her peers refer to her as 'cold', 'calculating', and even 'malicious' in their days of officer training. However it seems she has had a soft spot for those close to her as often with the antics of her husband and son, some often question how they are allowed to continue their antics. [Name] Richard Herman [Relation to Subject] Friend [Analysis] A close friend of Adrith's from their most notorious engagement. Richard and the rest of his squad believe they owe a debt to Adrith that could never be repaid as he risked himself and his machine to save them. Now looking for a way to pay him back, they often spread the word of his greatness, even talking about how Adrith gained his Callsign 'Scorch'. It is said that Adrith had often pushed his machine so hard that often he would come back even from his training days with scorch marks across his machine. How true is this claim is far from known.

@Zeroth

Illios had taken hold of his prize, at first it was no small effort from the start as he had to take it from others trying for it. Now that he had his sphere, he needed to defend it, he flew around and watched every which way he could. He knew others would come for him as only half of the sphere were left, yet his eyes alone could only do so much as he was attacked from above while he wasn't looking. He looked up and saw Bryant, Illios wasn't too sure on how well he did, but hoped Bryant at least did well in the magics test.

Illios put on his own smile, there was no malicious intent as he responded to Bryant, "Good to see you as well! How've-".

Illios was then cut off as the other boy yelled out, "Acid Magic: Melting Spray!" A wide cone of hissing, steaming white liquid headed towards Illios! Illios' eyes widened for a moment as he pulled upon his magic, he tucked his legs and body close to his broom as he tried to employ a mana shield against the Acid attack and dive with the broom at the same time. An attempt to defend himself against the attack if it was to hit him and give him enough time to try and get out of the way of the cone of acid.

"WHOA! Watch your _acid jet! I thought we weren't supposed to use lethal force!"

The Things We Fight For, A Science Fantasy Space Opera

No clue if this is still accepting more people, but I'll throw in my hat just in case.

Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

Alright, so after some time I thought of a way to jump in.

Illios looked to the broom he was given. He could think of the countless times he should have tried to fly with one. Yet he thought more on learning about his magics. He looked to the sky as he could see the sun hang high. There was time, he began to take the broom and sat upon it as he began to think. Slowly taking in the time as he invoked his magic and began to float. He could feel his feet lift off the ground as it was a very lofty feeling. He slowly bobbed about as the proctors released the flying orbs and started the next test. Yet Illios knew, it was going to be a fight up in the skies. He knew he didn't have much to defend himself with, so he knew he needed to pace himself. Illios opted to try and slowly build himself up. Learning how to fly with this new device before trying.

For the next few moments, Illios flew around near the ground, trying to build up speed as he looked to the sky every now and again. He nodded slowly as he began to reenact movements that some were performing, while not perfect, he moved with enough grace not to fall. He watched as people began to claim more and more flying orbs. Illios slowed down and set himself down. Few knew what he was doing, some thought maybe he was giving up, others thought he might have ran out of magical energy. Yet there were others who never noticed him as many were watching the high-flying action being done far above the ground. Those who noticed Illios were able to see him beginning to glow, his grimoire was now out as he began to quietly chant to himself. He looked up and was now watching with great intensity.

Countless fights went on, and multiple people began to be restrained, lashed out at, and parried. A small group dog fight began as 4 people fought for a flying orb that was dancing around the 4 of them. They shot magic at each other, they put up defensive shields, they sent attacks back, as eventually they were caught in a tight engagement. Illios began to crouch, deeply crouching as his feet began to glow. The moment the light grew incredibly bright, it solidified, as he now had golden glowing shoes with wings upon them. Illios took a breath in, a deep one as his legs began to glow brightly, "With these Day Racers, I shall fly with the Sun's Strength".

Illios poured mana into his legs, using his spell, Sun's Strength, to increase the power of his legs. The moment he saw the flying orb split away from the group of applicants, he took in one last breath and leaped. He launched up high and fast as the moment he neared the flying orb, he reached out and took hold of it as he continued by. The moment he felt himself slowing, Illios took to his broom once more and began to fly normally. He was now higher than he ever was and still glowing, much similar to a second sun.

TL;DR

- Illios stands there as he slowly figures out his way to fly with a broom. He nods to himself as he lets the others fight and spend time trying to get spheres.

- The moment Illios saw a group of applicants scramble and fight among each other, he knew it was his time as he saw a flying sphere running from them. He activated 2 of his magics together to launch himself at high speed to grab it and fly away.
